Hmm, tough call. I would have probabaly folded or raised the flop with a huge preference towards folding, especially on that board. Flat calling simply does not give you any information about your opponents holding. Now you make 2 pair, yet a scare card diamond hits the board. Again you check, there is still no way to know what anyone has. With the way the hand was played down, I'd say yes, I probabaly would bet the river only because I would have to fold to practically any bet from anyone else, but I would not be surprised to be raised on the end and have to fold.

Alex... first, I would've bet the flop, not checked it... Right now, there's a good chance you have the best hand, but at least one of the 4 people in the hand are gonna try to draw out... Throw out a $1.50 bet, and see what happens... If he raises, I would fold...
If you're playing an aggressive player, I would check/raise the turn... If not, I would bet the pot again on the turn... If he calls again, I'd check/fold the river, unless he throws out a value bet...

The way you played it, yes, I would definitely bet the river... He wouldn't check the turn w/ a made flush... He really hasn't shown ANY aggression, besides what was probably a steal attempt... Bet $3-5, and expect to get called down by something you beat a pretty good percentage of the time...
